9 BEST EXERCISE VIDEOS FOR KIDS from https://www.therealisticmama.com/exercise-videos-for-kids/

These workout videos are ones kids enjoy – they are fun, appropriate, and get them moving. These don’t require any special workout equipment either! Just clear a space in your living room, set up a laptop or connect your TV to YouTube and get going!Animal Exercises for Kids – fun, and easy enough for toddlers too!

Just Dance for Kids – 5 Little Monkeys – this is a video game that our family loves, but if you don’t want to invest in the game, this video shows one of our favorite songs! The repetition makes it a cinch for pre-school age and up.

Shake Break – confession: I think this one is ridiculous. But my kids seriously love it, and it gets them moving and active, so I can’t complain!

Mummy & Toddler Workout – you knew it was coming . . . time for Mom to get in on the fun! Perfect for your toddlers to stay entertained and active while you get some exercise in.

Kids Workout with Paul – old school and ridiculously cheesy, but it keeps us entertained while we exercise together! Better for school-age kids than toddlers.

Yoga for Kids – my daughter loves this video. I put it on for her almost everyday! She knows Mom loves yoga, so I think she feels like a “big-kid” when she gets to do this, instead of one of the “silly kid videos”.

Kids Yoga – another option for yoga, a little longer and more kid-oriented explanations.

Kids Workout Video – this video is best for my older kids, who aren’t looking for something goofy and fun, but want a “real” workout. It has background music and keeps things moving so they aren’t boring!

Just Dance Kids – Despicable Me – another option for your dancers, this is more hip-hop style but all the “moves” are very appropriate.
